When voices rise in office halls,
And tempers flare like crashing walls.
Step back and breathe, don’t take the bait,
Let silence speak, let tension wait.
When friends throw words they might regret,
Let time, not you, reset the net.
To jump between may tear the seam,
Some fights just need to lose their steam.
In relationships, when hearts are bruised and sore,
Don’t rush to fix what they explore.
To hold your place, to not intrude,
Can offer space for strength to brood.
When strangers clash in crowded streets,
Not every war is yours to meet.
Let people face what they must learn,
Don’t fan the flames, don’t steal their turn.
The need to help, the urge to mend,
Can sometimes twist what we intend.
So, watch, be kind, but hold your ground.
Some healing needs no helping sound.
Let stillness be your gentle art,
Step back before you take a part.
For wisdom lives in knowing better,
Not every fire need water.
And tempers flare like crashing walls.
Step back and breathe, don’t take the bait,
Let silence speak, let tension wait.
When friends throw words they might regret,
Let time, not you, reset the net.
To jump between may tear the seam,
Some fights just need to lose their steam.
In relationships, when hearts are bruised and sore,
Don’t rush to fix what they explore.
To hold your place, to not intrude,
Can offer space for strength to brood.
When strangers clash in crowded streets,
Not every war is yours to meet.
Let people face what they must learn,
Don’t fan the flames, don’t steal their turn.
The need to help, the urge to mend,
Can sometimes twist what we intend.
So, watch, be kind, but hold your ground.
Some healing needs no helping sound.
Let stillness be your gentle art,
Step back before you take a part.
For wisdom lives in knowing better,
Not every fire need water.
